I am running an Acer Aspire One. Former Ubuntu user, sat a spell on Debian
too. Been running 6 Toutatis for about 2 years. Install stays pretty stable
for at least that long, even with me installing a lot of extra packages for
testing, so pretty reliable, and simple to use. Easy install, works from a
USB with UNetbootin, and I'd been thinking it was about time for a fresh
install.
Just installed 7 Belanos on a separate partition. Had a few teething problems
with the GRUB2 configuration (see GRUB issues thread), but got that sorted
now. IceCat a bit wobbly, particularly with LibreJS turned on, writing this
in Abrowser, in a guest session on 7.
A few hardware issues. The display offers a much smaller range of resolutions
(800x600 4:3 and 1024x600 16:9) than in 6, which isn't a major problem with
one screen, but I haven't yet tested with two. Can't figure out how (or if)
to switch from Metacity to Compiz, or change the desktops back to a square
(they're in a line by default in 7, why?). The scroll bar on the right-hand
edge of the built-in touchpad works in 6, but not in 7, which is a nuisance
but tolerable. I can use GUI click-and-drag scroll bars, but using a touchpad
with a screen this size makes them fiddly (any way to make the scrollbars
appear as wider in Abrowser?).
Is the forum the best way to give such feedback?
